I wanted to build a concrete fire pit coffee table for my new back deck but I didn't want it to weigh hundreds of pounds... which it would have if I poured this out of solid concrete... instead I made a wooden frame and wrapped it in cement board before coating that with multiple coats of white thinset to achieve a white concrete look without the weight or form-pouring. I'm curious to see how this holds up during the next couple years.... if anything bad happens I'll be sure to make a comment below and pin it or make a follow up video! Thanks for checking out how to build this Modern low profile fake concrete fire pit coffee table.

Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.
